This studysaimed to describe the implementationnof Wimmelbuch storytellinggin developing the language skills of children aged4–5 years at Sekolah Sahabat Ananda. This study was conducted because research on the use of Wimmelbuch in storytelling activities for early childhood language development remains limited. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The participants were the school principal and a class A teacher. Data collection was carried out through observations, interviews, and document analysis. The collected data were then analyzed following the Miles and Huberman framework, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.. The results indicated that Wimmelbuch storytelling was implemented through three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The results showed that Wimmelbuch storytelling helped develop children's language skills. Improvements were found in listening skills, understanding picture content, vocabulary development, expressing simple ideas, confidence in speaking, and retelling experiences related to the pictures. These findings indicate that Wimmelbuch can be used as an alternative storytelling activity to support language development in early childhood.
